Here's a number worth knowing: a full charge of mash in a 6 gallon copper still weighs close to fifty pounds. That's why we shape ours by hand from heavy 20 oz., 22-gauge copper, thick enough to carry the load without complaint. It comes complete with a thumper and a coiled worm condenser. It's lead-free with tin-soldered joints, built in the long-standing Appalachian tradition.
Why does copper thickness matter on a 6 gallon still with thumper and worm?
Thin metal can flex under a heavy, hot charge. Thick copper holds its shape, so the still keeps working run after run.
- Workhorse build: a heavy 20 oz., 22-gauge copper boiler.
- Ready to go: the thumper and worm condenser are included.
- For any skill level: beginners can learn on it, and experienced distillers will appreciate how sturdy it is.
- Versatile: use it for essential oils and distilled water, or for whiskey, rum, brandy and moonshine once you hold federal TTB permits.
Running a still is equal parts alchemy and science. Heat turns liquid into vapor, and copper quietly pulls sulfur out of that vapor. The thumper boils it a second time, and the cool worm turns it back into liquid. Each stage responds to what you do, and learning that cause and effect is the real reward.
